Mixxx crashes on startup

Trying to run the DJing program Mixxx on FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE, I get a splash screen with loading bar for a second before it crashes back to the terminal with the following message:
Code: 
failed to authenticate magic 1
failed to load driver: iris
Warning [Main]: No fonts directory found in "/usr/local/share/mixxx/
"ALSA lib seq_hw.c:529:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
fish: Job 1, 'mixxx' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)
I ran mixxx --logLevel info to get a more verbose output there, the first two lines were absent by default.

Does anyone know what might be going on? I frankly don't even know where to begin but I'd love to get this working, if you can help please let me know if you need any more info from me.

I had the same problem with the port.
I tried to manually compile latest mixxx release from their git and got it working.
I think the port is broken ☹️
 
I installed via pkg, and that's where my crashing issue is. Since my original post I also attempted to compile it from the ports tree (same quarterly branch as pkg), but wasn't able to get that to finish. I'll look into seeing if I can compile the latest release from their git.

Let me know, if you have problems compiling from their git. I went through this procedure once and might be able to assist.

That is much appreciated, I'm a bit of a newbie so if this requires a ton of advanced knowledge I might get lost.
 
Hi, thank god , I'm not alone with this problem.

I can agree, that starting mixxx is ending up in a crash. I'm running FreeBSD 14.0-Release and tried the Package and the ports. I have a Scarlett 2i2 attached as Audio Interface. In Version prior 13.2-Release everything was up and running, but now not.

I got a .core-File an learned, how to read it (gdb -core=mixxx.core).

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. Address not mapped to object. #0 0x000000084dd8e9e0 in ?? () [Current thread is 1 (LWP 101684)] (gdb)

So,I have no Idea why mixxx is crashing. :(

How can I help to get it back running again?

Kind Regards

I got it working by compiling directly from the mixxx GitHub, without using the port.

I've compiled it before, but always with Linux. Were there any hoops that you needed to jump through? I'd like to give Mixxx 2.4.0 a try. But maybe I should wait for 2.4.1...

I do not recall any bigger problems.
Before compiling mixxx from GitHub, I went to the port‘s directory and ran make install-missing-packages so that the requirements are satisfied.

I appreciate the information, thanks. I will wait until the first point release and then give it a try!
